Local tips for kayaking in Karlstad

• If you rent for 2 hours, you can paddle up the river, take a break on the beach and paddle back downstream.
• If you rent for 4 hours, you can paddle around the whole town and enjoy downstream almost all the way. Head towards the hospital, paddle around the golf course and the yacht club. When you get to the inner harbour (Inre hamn), you head into the canal (Pråmkanalen) and use the locks. Please call +46(10) 83 28 318 for assistance as the lock station is unmanned. (This tour can be done June-August). Then you have just a short stretch upstream before you turn left at Sandgrundsudden and can enjoy downstream paddling again back to Teaterparken.
• When the locks are closed, you can carry the kayak past it or choose to go further east and paddle upstream on that part of the river. Depending on if you are an experienced paddler or not, you might need another hour if you go that way.
